EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Singular Passenger" captures a truly extraordinary moment in the bustling streets of Paris. Taken by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases a surprising scene that unfolded on the Pont-Neuf bridge. In this peculiar image, we witness an escaped monkey named Bamboula boldly climbing aboard a bus filled with unsuspecting passengers. The monkey's mischievous adventure began when it managed to escape from its owner's home and found itself seeking refuge on the iconic Pont-Neuf. Seizing an opportunity for further exploration, Bamboula fearlessly hopped onto a passing bus, much to the astonishment of both fellow travelers and pedestrians alike. Published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on September 7th, 1913, this artwork perfectly encapsulates the unexpected encounters one may stumble upon while traversing through city streets. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our daily routines and mundane commutes, there is always room for surprise and wonderment. The juxtaposition of human passengers alongside their wild primate counterpart highlights our shared existence within urban environments. This unique snapshot not only captures a fleeting moment but also invites us to reflect on our own journeys through life – reminding us that sometimes it takes unexpected detours or chance encounters to make our travels truly memorable.
